                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 21, 2015

  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Collin Horan, a 
Greencastle-Antrim Middle School student, for his dedicated service to 
the North Point Veterans Program.
   Mr. Horan chose to work with the North Point Veteran's Home, a 
housing, employment, independent living, and recovery-oriented service 
provider for displaced veterans, out of a sense of gratitude for our 
former service members, and given his family's ties to the military.
   After speaking with the home's 23 current residents, Mr. Horan set 
out with the help and support of his parents, Don and Lauren Horan, to 
provide the veterans with an impressive donation, which included home 
living essentials like towels and toiletry items, as well as 
significant funds for the home to purchase a refrigerator and laptop 
computer.
   Garnering support from the members of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in 
Funkstown and a number of local businesses, Mr. Horan worked tirelessly 
and even overcame a health setback to complete the service project in 
conjunction with his church confirmation.
   It is my honor to recognize Mr. Horan, a selfless young man, and 
congratulate him for his committed service to the North Point Veteran's 
Home, our country's service members, and his local community.
